Getting down to destruction

After you have become convinced of the type of pest you are dealing with, you need to familiarize yourself with how to proceed. In itself, the destruction of bugs and cockroaches vary in that the solid baits will not save you from the former and will greatly help with the latter. Let us consider in more detail the methods of getting rid of each species of these insects separately.

Destruction of bugs

To get a really fast and high-quality result, consider the following:

1. In the fight against these pests, the treatment will have to be carried out several times over some time, since at certain intervals new individuals will be hatched from the eggs.
2. An important factor is the attentiveness of the destroyer. The whole procedure boils down to the fact that when processing with a means to get rid, you need to kill all the parasites. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the survivors will give offspring that are resistant to your chosen drug.

Important! Each manufacturer praises their funds as best they can, but in most cases they cannot destroy bedbug eggs, no matter what is written on the package.

You can destroy bugs using two types of processing:

1. Using special aerosols. The principle of their action is as follows: you spray a liquid finely dispersed agent in the area affected by parasites.Spray with insecticides gets into the bug along with air and kills it.
2. Contact insecticides. The essence of the work of such drugs is as follows: when processing places of a large accumulation of insects, the drug sticks to the body of the pest and, through the chitinous integument, enters the parasite and kills it.

Important! Heat treatment may also help, but this will require heat sources. But such equipment is usually very expensive. Accordingly, for a single use, such a purchase is not rational.

Getting rid of cockroaches

Since this type of pest is not so picky in food, poisoning it is an easier task. At the moment, there are many lures that for cockroaches smell like food, but in fact are poison. If you properly scatter such products in places of dislocation of insects, then very soon you can see the result - the complete destruction of cockroaches.

Cockroaches are afraid:

• Boers;
• Boric acid;
• Various dusts and crayons.

In addition, these insects are afraid of the same means as bed bugs. Knowing this will make your life much easier if you have both parasites.

Important! The destruction of bugs, cockroaches may not necessarily be chemical. There are several methods of mechanical destruction. This will especially help those who are allergic to chemistry.

General methods of disposal

The destruction of bugs and cockroaches is not always reduced to insecticidal methods. These insects are afraid of certain temperature thresholds:

• at -25 C and above +50 C the bugs die;
• cockroaches are slightly less resistant to temperature - here the threshold is -5 C and above +45 C.

Important! Some special parasite control services have installations with liquid nitrogen or carbonic acid. They process large pests nests. A more successful method of struggle is industrial fan heaters, but this is a more expensive service compared to others.
